Just for Today I will.........
try and be patient with my children as it is still Summer holidays here (week 7!).......
Be kind to myself
take each hour as it comes
make myself a nice milky coffee :0)
Paint my two little girls toe nails as they have been asking me for a few days!!
Watch my 9 year old son Play the wii as he has been asking me for two days!
not worry that the floor isn't mopped!
What will you do?
I feel like a need a bit of a lift today so am posting this thread which hopefully will help!..............Phiz

hmmm....
Today I will work my shift here,
and be as positive, helpful and engaging as I can.
(which is quite a lot, actually)
I will be grateful for my humble meager room
and thank my car for being a GOOD car
I will water my plants from my house
that now surround me here at work ...
And I will NOT ... worry.
Well -n when I catch myself worrying...
I will try and stop.

Just for today, I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, keep my voice low, be courteous, criticize not one bit. I won’t find fault with anything, nor try to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Thanks for positing this, Phiz

Just for today...
I will not let someone else's crisis become my own.
I will not give my attention to those who squander it.
and I will remember to trust my feelings.
Just for today...okay maybe tomorrow too, if I can swing it.

Today I will not be afraid of any crisis my AH creates. I will have confidence that all the work and progress I made over the last month will not fail me. I will believe today that the knowledge and connections I gained will help me overcome any situation, no matter how ugly or repulsive. Today I will continue to build from the wisdom of others and promise myself, with the power of others in my life, I will never be isolated and vulnerable again. Today I will put anger and fear behind me so I have the strength to fight for peace, serenity, and happiness, while leaving the final outcome to a higher power.

Today I will
Take a deep breath and realize that I am really enjoying not having an alcoholic around
Talk to my teenage daughters and continue to connect with them now that the chaos is out of the house.
Sit in a quiet room and read the book I have been trying to for a year. I can concentrate on this because the chaos is out of the house.
Notice a trend in those things?

i will not contact my ABF during the day unless replying to him. If I reply and receive no response I will not continue to respond or call until I get one - I will leave it up to him. This sounds easy but I always backle eventually. Not today though (I hope!)

As I go back to school today, I will not worry that I am an "old" lady among attractive, smart, youthful faces. I will remember that gaining knowledge and wisdom is a lifelong pursuit, and that it brings joy to me (even when people look funny at me, like, "Why are YOU here?" )
)
